Code 3 Associates is featured on Stewart’s No. 14 Chevrolet SS this weekend at Martinsville. Below is a quote from Stewart about Code 3 Associates’ partnership with SHR: 

“We’re honored to have Code 3 Associates as a partner with Stewart-Haas Racing. Whenever there’s a disaster, everyone wants to help, and it’s nice to know there’s an organization out there that takes care of a sometimes overlooked but very important family member – your pet. Taking care of animals has always been important to me, and when we started our foundation, we made animal welfare a priority. To be able to promote the work of Code 3 Associates so that it can do even more work for people and their pets is very satisfying.”
